Heat index

The heat index value for January is estimated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses. Alert! The Sun's UV rays are heightened by the reflection of sand and water.
