Heat index

July's heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
