Heat index

The average heat index in April is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 51°C (123.8°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
