Heat index

The heat index value during August is estimated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
