Temperature

Heat index

During August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 123.8°F (51°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
