Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
