Weather in August
Temperature
Ridgewood's average high-temperature in August is a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), marking an insignificant difference from the 87.8°F (31°C) of July. Ridgewood records a marked divergence from the day's high temperatures, with nights in August averaging at an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
