Heat index

In May, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
