Heat index

The heat index value during November is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
