Temperature

In Poplar Grove Plantation, Louisiana, the months of July and August are known for the peak temperatures, reaching an average high of 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
