Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital 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 and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
