Heat index

January's mean heat index is appraised at a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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 body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
