Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Drexel notes an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), nearly consistent with July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Drexel's temperature drops to an average low of 66.4°F (19.1°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
