Weather in August
Temperature
As Oil City welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a hot 94.6°F (34.8°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. Oil City records a consistent low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
