Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
