Heat index

April's mean heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
