For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
