Heat index

The heat index for April is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
