Floodwaters could get significantly colder, as the monsoon season in Asia (as in Mexico) is considered to be the “wet and cold” season. The monsoon season is roughly June - October, give or take a few weeks.

I then googled the cave name and hypothermia and found this: How Did the Group Avoid Hypothermia? Hypothermia is a major concern when trapped in a wet, underground cave. Fortunately, the ambient temperature in Tham Luang Nang Non is predicted to be between 73 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit, but experts still said<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44633601> the boys should have wrung out their wet clothes and huddled together at nighttime for warmth. The floodwaters themselves could get significantly colder, so the boys had to have found high enough ground to avoid being even partially submerged. But then Dwight Deal saw: huddled together at nighttime ???? And I wonder why would the floodwaters get significantly colder? So take everything with a grain of salt as non-caver reporters write their stories.
