Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
