Washington, Pennsylvania, observes an average high-temperature of a still warm 82°F (27.8°C) in August, barely different from 83.3°F (28.5°C) in July. Washington's average nighttime temperatures present a clear contrast to its daytime highs, measured at a mild 59.9°F (15.5°C) in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Constant exposure and activity lead to possible fatigue. Prolonged exercise may result in heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
