Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Marguerite, Louisiana, with an average temperature fluctuating between 76.6°F (24.8°C) and 89.6°F (32°C).

Temperature

Marguerite's August weather, with an average high temperature of 89.6°F (32°C) and an average low temperature of 76.6°F (24.8°C), tends to be the warmest of the year.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
