Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
