Heat index

The heat index value during August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
