For August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
