Heat index

In December, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
