Heat index

March's average heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
