Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
