Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
