Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Newton Ridge, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 89.2°F (31.8°C) and 70°F (21.1°C).

Temperature

Newton Ridge's average high-temperature marks a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) with the advent of August, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 70°F (21.1°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
