Heat index

March's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
