Heat index

Throughout June, the heat index is computed to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
