Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), barely different from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Lake Andes, in the heat of August, registers a significant plunge to a mean of 62.8°F (17.1°C) during the nights.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
