Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
