Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
