Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

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