Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are considered as extremely dangerous, as heatstroke is imminent.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. 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. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
