Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
