The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Galvez Town, Louisiana, with an average temperature ranging between max 90.7°F (32.6°C) and min 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), nearly identical to July's 91°F (32.8°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) is observed.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
