For August, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
