Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), barely different from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Bayou Barbary records an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 74.8°F (23.8°C) in August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
