Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
