Heat index

The heat index for June is calculated to be an extremely hot 44°C (111.2°F). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
