Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
