Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
