Heat index

For July, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. 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 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
