Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Galion, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 92.1°F (33.4°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

At the start of August, Galion's average high-temperature reaches a still hot 92.1°F (33.4°C), subtly different from the preceding month. The average low-temperature during August nights is a pleasant 73°F (22.8°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
