Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
