Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C) from July's 91.2°F (32.9°C) in Locust Ridge's average high-temperatures. Locust Ridge's average low-temperature in the month of August is recorded at an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
