Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Note: In August, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
