Heat index

April's mean heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are judged to be tremendously perilous, and heatstroke is imminent.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
