Heat index

The heat index for December is calculated to be a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
