Heat index

During January, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
