Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in The Shire, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.2°F (32.9°C) and 74.7°F (23.7°C).

Temperature

With August's arrival, The Shire's weather records an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C), marking little difference from July's 91.6°F (33.1°C). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a warm 74.7°F (23.7°C) during August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
