Heat index

April's mean heat index is computed to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
