Weather in August
Temperature
Ruffin's average high-temperature in August sits at a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), showing little difference from the previous month. Throughout August, Ruffin experiences a low-temperature average of 66.9°F (19.4°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
