Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
