Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing 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 meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 after every two hours, outdoor workout, or swim is recommended.
