Heat index

The heat index for July is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C. Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
