During April, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
