Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

June through August, with an average relative humidity of 82%, are the most humid months.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary.

During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
