Heat index

The heat index for July is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
