Heat index

For April, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
