Weather in August

Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
