Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
