Weather in July

Zachary, Louisiana enters its hottest month in July. The summer sun shines predominately, casting long daylight hours. Coupled with the increase in humidity, the heat could be perceived as exceptionally intense. The high temperatures and humid conditions continue well into August. However, this period marks the peak of the summer heat, with average high temperatures reaching up to 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Temperature

July is the warmest month, with an average high-temperature of 91.9°F (33.3°C) and an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Heat index

In July, the average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
