The heat index in August is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
