Heat index

For August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
