Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
