Heat index

Throughout July, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
