In August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
