Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
