Weather in August
Temperature
With August's advent, Mechanics Valley sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), subtly shifted from July's 84.9°F (29.4°C). An average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
