Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
