Heat index

For January, the heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
