Heat index

The heat index for May is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. 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 shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
