For August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
