Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
