Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' 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. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
