Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. 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. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
