Weather in August

August maintains the summer heat in Speedway, with temperatures remaining relatively comparable to July. However, there is a slight drop in wind speed, making the days more sultry. The dwindling daylight hours from its peak in July mark the onset of the end of summer. The month also marks the beginning of a decrease in the number of sunny days. Despite these changes, August remains a robust summer month for Speedway residents.

Temperature

With the onset of August, Speedway's average high-temperature clocks in at a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. During August, Speedway experiences an average low-temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
