Heat index

The heat index for March is estimated at a burning hot 55°C (131°F). Warning: These weather conditions are accepted as gravely hazardous, with imminent heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
