Heat index

December's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. 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. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
