Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), not significantly different from the 84.4°F (29.1°C) of July. In Bethlehem, the average temperature during the nights of August drops to a pleasant 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
