Weather in August
Temperature
Peak temperatures are observed in July and August, averaging a high-temperature of 89.2°F (31.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
In Poydras, the average relative humidity in August is 72%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 20.9 days and typically aggregates up to 2.87" (73mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In Poydras, the average sunshine in August is 10.7h.UV index
May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
