Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
