Weather in August
Temperature
As Tangipahoa welcomes August, the average high-temperature records at a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. During August, Tangipahoa experiences an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) at night.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
