For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children.
