Weather in August
Temperature
In Sulphur, the month of August is known for its highest average temperatures, reaching a high of 93.4°F (34.1°C) and a low of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through 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. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
