Weather in August

Natchitoches, Louisiana, in August brings together the endurance of summer heat and the anticipation of incoming fall. August makes a slight retreat from July's peak heat with the highest temperature settling at a slightly lower 94.3°F (34.6°C). Despite the minor decrease, August continues to be characterised by long daylight hours and increased rainfall. Humidity levels remain high due to the warm environment and contributing rainfall. September, on the horizon, promises a welcome respite from the heat, signaling the start of autumn.

Temperature

August's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 94.3°F (34.6°C), hardly different from the previous month. During August, Natchitoches consistently records a temperature low averaging an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
