Heat index

The average heat index in September is appraised at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
