High temperatures can lead to excessive evaporation and moisture loss from plant leaves and soil, causing dehydration and stress.
Plants may wilt in response to the heat as they struggle to regulate water uptake and transpiration, which can affect their overall health.
Intense sunlight and high temperatures can cause sunburn on plant leaves, leading to browning, discoloration, and reduced photosynthesis.
Extreme heat can disrupt the flowering and fruit-setting process in some plants, potentially reducing crop yields.
Plants often require more frequent watering during hot summer months to compensate for increased water loss and maintain optimal growth.
