Heat index

The heat index value for July is estimated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Note: The UV index of 7 during July leads to these advisories:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
