Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C) from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). Marcus Hook, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
