Weather in August
Temperature
August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), subtly differing from July's 91.4°F (33°C). During August, Union records an average temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) at night.Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. 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 calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
