Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. 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. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial 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.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
