Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
