Weather in August
Temperature
Transitioning into August, Morgan City records an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C), almost identical to July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). During August, Morgan City's temperature averages to a pleasant 71.6°F (22°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
