Weather in August
Temperature
As Cottondale welcomes August, the average high-temperature records at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Throughout the month of August, Cottondale sees a steady low-temperature average of 74.1°F (23.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
