Heat index

December's mean heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35°C (95°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
