August registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), slightly varied from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). August brings an average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) to Erie.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
