Heat index

The heat index value during May is estimated at a burning hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are viewed as overly hazardous, with approaching heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
