Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 12 suggests these recommendations:
Adopt all essential precautions. Preventing sun harm is crucial. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher should be applied generously and frequently reapplied even on cloudy days, especially after each swim or outdoor workout. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
