Heat index

For April, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
