Heat index

For most parts of April, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 50°C (122°F). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
