Heat index

For July, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during July leads to these instructions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
