Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
