Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

The average relative humidity in August is 65%.
