Heat index

December's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
