Weather in August
Temperature
Shifting into August, Plymouth records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. In the month of August, Plymouth records a consistent average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time.
