For August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
