Weather in August
Temperature
As July transitions into August, the average high-temperature rests at a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. During August, Wakonda reports a marked contrast from daily peak temperatures, with an average nighttime reading of 61.3°F (16.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
