Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
