Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
