Heat index

May's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
