Heat index

May's mean heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are held as incredibly dangerous, heatstroke is on the horizon.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
