Heat index

In January, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
