Heat index

June's mean heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable.

By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
