Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Wallace, Louisiana, with an average temperature ranging between min 75.4°F (24.1°C) and max 89.8°F (32.1°C).

Temperature

July and August are known as Wallace's warmest months, with an average high-temperature of 89.8°F (32.1°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
