Weather in August
Temperature
Springfield experiences its highest average temperatures in August, reaching a peak of 29.7°C (85.5°F) and a minimum of 26.8°C (80.2°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. 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. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
