Heat index

For July, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
