Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Sandy Hill, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 93.2°F (34°C) and 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Temperature

August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 93.2°F (34°C) from July's 93.6°F (34.2°C). During August, Sandy Hill witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
