Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Claiborne, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 92.5°F (33.6°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.5°F (33.6°C), subtly varied from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 73°F (22.8°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
