Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. 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 dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory.

To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
