Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
