Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
