Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
