Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
