Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a still warm 80.6°F (27°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. Throughout the month of August, West Reading reports a steady low-temperature average of 61.7°F (16.5°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
