Heat index

January's mean heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
