Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

In August, the average relative humidity is 78%.
