Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 60°C (140°F). Warning: These weather conditions are accepted as gravely perilous, heatstroke is on the horizon.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Be vigilant. Without due care, eyes and skin can be harmed in no time. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
