In May, the average heat index is appraised at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
