Weather in August
Temperature
Allentown starts August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), a minor shift from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). Allentown's temperature in August lowers to a consistent average of 71.8°F (22.1°C) during the nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
