Heat index

September's heat index is computed to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
