Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
