Throughout December, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). With sustained exposure and activity, exhaustion becomes probable, resulting in heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
