August, the last month of the summer in Iroquois, is another warm month, with an average temperature varying between 61.3°F (16.3°C) and 84.2°F (29°C).

Temperature

Iroquois marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), hardly different from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). Significant variation from daytime temperatures marks August, with the month recording a nightly average of 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.

The average relative humidity in August is 63%.
