Heat index

For most parts of November, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 35°C (95°F). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
