Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
