Weather in August
Temperature
As Speed steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), displaying minor differences from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). August brings an average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) to Speed.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
