Heat index

In May, the average heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
