Weather in August
Temperature
In Upton, the months of July and August register the highest average temperatures, peaking at 91.4°F (33°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
