Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 54°C (129.2°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Be proactive in protecting yourself; skin and eyes can be harmed if left unprotected. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
