Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
