Heat index

The heat index in September is computed to be a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Be alert: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is a threat with sustained physical activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
