Weather in August

Downingtown signifies an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) in August, closely mirroring the 84°F (28.9°C) of July. Downingtown's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at an enjoyable 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
