Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
