Heat index

In April, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Immediate precautions are necessary; otherwise, skin and eyes might get damaged quickly. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
