Heat index

In August, the average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
