Heat index

During July, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Be sure to take precautions. Without protection, skin might suffer damage quickly. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage. Even on a cloudy day, a sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF should be applied generously and frequently reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor exercise.
