Temperature

Dulac reaches its highest average temperatures in August, measuring 88.9°F (31.6°C) at the peak and 77.5°F (25.3°C) at the lowest.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
