Heat index

The heat index for June is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Ensure precautions are always in place. The risk to skin and eyes is high without them. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
