During July, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
