Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Rousseau, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), almost identical to the preceding month. August nights see a notable contrast from daytime highs, with the nighttime temperature averaging at an enjoyable 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
