Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
