Heat index

For most parts of December, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
