Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in New Union, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 66.2°F (19°C) and max 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), differing minimally from July's 86.4°F (30.2°C). New Union's average low-temperature is measured at an enjoyable 66.2°F (19°C) during August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
