Heat index

During September, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
