Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Cotter, Arkansas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 89.8°F (32.1°C) and 66.9°F (19.4°C).

Temperature

An average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C) marks August, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in July. Significant dips from daytime highs mark the August nights in Cotter, with a consistent average temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
