Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
