The heat index value during August is appraised at 84.2°F (29°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
