Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), slightly varied from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). A steady average of 59.4°F (15.2°C) throughout August in Elkhurst underscores a considerable divergence from the daytime high.Heat index
The average heat index in August is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
