Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
