Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Percle, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 89.2°F (31.8°C) and 75.7°F (24.3°C).

Temperature

Percle, Louisiana, notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) in August, hardly diverging from July. During the nights in August, Percle experiences a consistent average temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
