Heat index

July's average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light 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 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
