Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still warm 84.2°F (29°C) from July's 85.3°F (29.6°C) in Poplar Plains's average high-temperatures. In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
