Heat index

May's heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
