Heat index

During August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. 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. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
