Heat index

In April, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
