August, the last month of the summer in Plantation, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Plantation records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). The mean low-temperature during August nights is an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
