Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may 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. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
