In August, the average heat index is appraised at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
