Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Bellefonte records a mean low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
