Heat index

For August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
