Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. 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 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. 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. 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 essentially critical for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
