Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. 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 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
