Heat index

The heat index for August is evaluated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
