Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
