Heat index

The heat index for August is appraised at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
