Temperature

Heat index

The heat index for May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
