Heat index

For most parts of January, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
