Heat index

For most parts of September, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
