Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
