Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 90°F (32.2°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Throughout August, the average low-temperature in Ratliff dips to a moderately hot 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
