Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), barely varying from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). The average temperature in Sharkey, Louisiana, during August nights dips to a warm 74.5°F (23.6°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
