Heat index

The heat index for April is evaluated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
