Heat index

The heat index value for May is estimated at an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
