Heat index

Throughout September, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
