Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
