Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
