Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Cottonton's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 91.2°F (32.9°C) from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). The average low-temperature, in August, is a pleasant 72.5°F (22.5°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
