Heat index

The heat index for July is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual'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 particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
