August's average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
