Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 109.4°F (43°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. 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 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
