Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Pelican, is a torrid month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 73°F (22.8°C) and an average high of 95°F (35°C).

Temperature

August, noted for its average high-temperature of 95°F (35°C) and an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C), is considered the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 122°F (50°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. 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 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 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.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
