The heat index value for August is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
