Heat index

The heat index value for July is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
