Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
