Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. 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. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
