Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
