Heat index

For April, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
