Heat index

In April, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in April translates into this advice:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
