Heat index

In March, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
