Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
