Heat index

The average heat index in May is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 quite important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
