Heat index

The heat index value during May is calculated to be a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
