Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Ridgetop experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 86.9°F (30.5°C) in July to a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C). Ridgetop cools down to an average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
