Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Harrisburg records an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Harrisburg experiences an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) in month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
