Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
