The heat index value for August is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
