Heat index

During May, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 37°C. Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
