Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
