Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
