Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 of high significance for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. Take note! Sand and water reflections strengthen the Sun's UV exposure.
