Weather in August
Temperature
Ridgefield's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C) in temperature. The low-temperature average for Ridgefield during August stands at an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase 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.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
