Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
