Heat index

The average heat index in July is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
