Heat index

The heat index value for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
