Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
