Heat index

The heat index for April is calculated to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
