Heat index

In August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 52°C (125.6°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
