Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
