Heat index

The heat index value for January is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
