The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Scotland, Pennsylvania, with an average temperature fluctuating between 61.3°F (16.3°C) and 81.7°F (27.6°C).

Temperature

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), barely different from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). An average low-temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is observed during August nights.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
