Heat index

For April, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
