Heat index

During May, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
