Heat index

During July, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Note: In July, a daily maximum UV index of 12 leads to the following instructions:
Carry out every crucial safety measure. People with fair skin may sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half. Despite the cloudy weather, sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30 should be liberally applied and reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor activity. Attention! The reflection of both water and sand can increase the intensity of UV rays.
