Heat index

In January, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 41°C (105.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
