Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
