Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.

On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
