Heat index

The heat index value for January is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
