Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
