Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
