Heat index

The heat index value during July is computed to be a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 extremely significant for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
