Throughout January, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 32°C (89.6°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children.
