Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
