Heat index

During April, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for 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. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
