In August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
