Heat index

In May, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
