The average heat index in August is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake.
