Weather in August
Temperature
August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), almost identical to the preceding month. The average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is witnessed in Big Island, Louisiana, during August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
