Heat index

During January, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

UV index

Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in January leads to these guidelines:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
