Heat index

The heat index value for May is appraised at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Notice! The reflection of water and sand increases the UV radiation significantly.
