Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Allendale, Louisiana, with an average temperature varying between 73.9°F (23.3°C) and 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Temperature

The warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C), falls in July and August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
