Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
