Heat index

For August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
