Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Heads up! UV intensity is amplified by reflections from water and sand.
