Heat index

The heat index in December is computed to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
