Weather in August
Temperature
Hammond indicates an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C) in August, showing minor variation from July's 82°F (27.8°C). Hammond's temperature in August lowers to a consistent average of 63.7°F (17.6°C) during the nights.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
