Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
