The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Saline, Louisiana, with temperature in the range of an average low of 72.5°F (22.5°C) and an average high of 94.1°F (34.5°C).

Temperature

The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 94.1°F (34.5°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. Saline's nights in August are distinguished by a pronounced temperature shift from the day, with an average low of 72.5°F (22.5°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 120.2°F (49°C). Keep on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a possible danger with ongoing physical activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
