Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
