For most parts of January, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
