Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
