Heat index

For most parts of December, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
