Weather in August
Temperature
Highton's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 84.9°F (29.4°C). Highton throughout August, records an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Constant activity during exposure could result in a state of weariness and possibly heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
