Heat index

The heat index value for September is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Take extra precautions. Fair-skinned individuals may get burned in less than 10 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. After a swim or outdoor exercise, one should liberally reapply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly increases the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
