The heat index value for August is appraised at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated.

Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
