Heat index

During July, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
