Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

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. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
