Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
