On the advent of August, Rifton's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Nightly average temperatures in August reveal a significant dip from daytime highs, registering a consistent a moderate 58.6°F (14.8°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
