Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
