Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
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. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in August leads to these recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
