Heat index

Throughout April, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 35°C (95°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. 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. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
