Heat index

In May, the average heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 50°C (122°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
