Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
