Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August in Slidell, a modest change to a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C) from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C) is noted in high-temperature. Slidell reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 77.4°F (25.2°C) in August.Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
