Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
