Heat index

During April, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are regarded as tremendously dangerous, with imminent heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
