Heat index

The heat index in April is appraised at a life-threatening hot 52°C (125.6°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
