Heat index

During September, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
