Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
