Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Gibsland, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 72.3°F (22.4°C) and 94.1°F (34.5°C).

Temperature

Gibsland's warmest month, August, registers temperatures that range from a high of 94.1°F (34.5°C) to a low of 72.3°F (22.4°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
