Heat index

The heat index in September is calculated to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Immediate damage can occur to skin and eyes if left unprotected. Always take necessary precautions. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Take warning! The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation can be nearly amplified twice due to snow reflection.
