Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Plains's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). Throughout the month of August, Plains sees a steady low-temperature average of 72.5°F (22.5°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. 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 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. 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. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
