Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 77%.

Note: In August, a regular UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
