Heat index
July's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Remember to safeguard yourself. Rapid damage can occur to skin and eyes without protection. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Even under cloud cover, use sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 generously and reapply frequently post every swim or outdoor exercise. Stay vigilant! UV rays get a boost in intensity due to sand and water reflections.
