Heat index

During December, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

UV index

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in December converts into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
