Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
