Heat index

For May, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
