Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild 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 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
