Temperature

During August, Speed observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C) from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C) in the average high-temperature. Speed, in August, observes a steady average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
