Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
