Heat index

For June, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses. Despite the cloud cover, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after a swim or an outdoor workout. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
