Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. 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. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Undertake all critical precautions. Protection from sun harm is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Even under cloud cover, use sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 generously and reapply frequently post every swim or outdoor exercise.
