Heat index

The average heat index in January is estimated at a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
