Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
