Heat index

For March, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Notice! Sand and water reflections contribute to a stronger UV exposure.
