Heat index

The heat index for August is computed to be a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in August transforms into the following instructions:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. 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. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
