During May, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
