Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Act on precautions and pay attention to sun safety recommendations. Avoidance of sunburn is obligatory. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Caution! Sand and water reflections can notably increase the UV radiation intensity.
