Heat index

For May, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
