Heat index

The average heat index in January is computed to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
