In May, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. 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 highly important for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
