Heat index

For August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
