Heat index

For most parts of July, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Practice every precaution of necessity, unprotected skin and eyes might burn in minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours.
