Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
