Heat index

Throughout January, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
