Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
