Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
