Heat index

The heat index for March is appraised at a life-threatening hot 57°C (134.6°F). Warning: These weather conditions are treated as highly risky, with approaching heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
