Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a burning hot 49°C (120.2°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical 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 extremely significant for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
