Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
