Heat index

The heat index for August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
