Weather in August
Temperature
Plains's temperatures tend to hit their maximum during June through August, with an average high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values 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. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
