Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
