Weather in August
Temperature
Duplessis, Louisiana, experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C) in August, marking an insignificant shift from 91°F (32.8°C) in July. Duplessis experiences a mean low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
