Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 45°C (113°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
