Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
