Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
