Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
