Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
