Heat index

In May, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
