Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
