Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
