Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
