The average heat index in August is calculated to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
