Heat index

The heat index in March is appraised at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
