Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Killian, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.4°F (33°C) and 74.5°F (23.6°C).

Temperature

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), barely different from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). In August, Killian experiences an average nighttime temperature of 74.5°F (23.6°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
