Heat index

During March, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
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. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. 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.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
