Heat index

In December, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: In December, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
