Summer in Bossier City is characterized by its intense heat and lower levels of rainfall.

Temperature

The warmest period is usually observed in July and August, with the average high-temperature peaking at 95.5°F (35.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
