Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
