Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
