The heat index value for August is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
