Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for 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. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
