Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), closely mirroring the 84.4°F (29.1°C) of July. Bethlehem, during August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
