Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in April translates into the following recommendations:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
