Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
