Heat index

The average heat index in April is appraised at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating 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. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
