Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
