Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
