Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
