Heat index

The heat index value during January is evaluated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
