Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 83.1°F (28.4°C). During the nights in August, the temperature in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, averages to a moderate 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
