Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
