Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Riverridge, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 89.8°F (32.1°C) and min 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Temperature

The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C), subtly varied from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). Riverridge witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) throughout August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
