In August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
