Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
