Heat index

The average heat index in May is appraised at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
