Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
