Heat index
The heat index value for November is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks 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 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
