August's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. 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', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
