Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
