Current Conditions and Heat Index
It is currently Sunday morning in College Station, and the air is already thick with heat. The current air temperature stands at 86F, but the combination of warmth and moisture makes it feel like 92F. Relative humidity is at 62%, and the dew point sits at 72F, contributing to that sticky sensation many are experiencing.
The sky is clear, and winds are light at 8 mph, with gusts reaching 10 mph. This setup is typical for the region during this time of year, where the lack of cloud cover allows solar radiation to intensify the heat throughout the day.
