Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Lake Providence, Louisiana, with an average temperature varying between 72.7°F (22.6°C) and 90.3°F (32.4°C).

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), subtly different from July's 91°F (32.8°C). In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
