Heat index

In June, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

In June, the average relative humidity in Barrero is 69%.

Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
