Weather in August
Temperature
Raritan's August showcases an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.4°F (28°C), hardly distinct from July's 84.2°F (29°C). Raritan, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
