Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Lamar's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). Lamar in August experiences a low-temperature average of 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
