Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration. Warning! The reflection of sand and water increases the UV dose.
