Weather in August
Temperature
On the advent of August, Speight's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a mild 59.9°F (15.5°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering 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. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
