Heat index

The heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. 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. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
