Weather in August
Temperature
Cotton's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), nearly identical to the prior month. Cotton documents a striking divergence from daytime highs, with an average nighttime temperature of 61.5°F (16.4°C) in August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
