Heat index

The heat index value for December is appraised at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
