Weather in August
Temperature
Galestown transitions into August recording an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C), closely aligning with the preceding month's temperature. Galestown reports an average low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
