Heat index

Throughout December, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance 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. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
