Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
