Heat index

May's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
