Heat index

For most parts of December, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
