Heat index

The heat index value during April is computed to be a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. 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. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
