Heat index

During April, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

It is essential to prioritize protection. Unprotected skin and eyes can suffer rapid harm. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
