August, the last month of the summer in Ragley, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 92.7°F (33.7°C) and an average low of 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Temperature

As Ragley transitions into August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 92.7°F (33.7°C), offering little variation from the preceding month. During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a warm 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 120.2°F (49°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 quite important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
