Heat index

The average heat index in June is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.

Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
