Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. Kearney registers a consistent average low-temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C) during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
