Weather in August
Temperature
Lecompte observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.6°F (33.1°C) in August, barely different from 91.9°F (33.3°C) in July. Lecompte's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
