Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
