Heat index

In March, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
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. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
