Heat index

April's average heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
