The heat index value for August is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
