Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 30°C (86°F). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
