Heat index

September's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
