Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
