Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
