Heat index

March's heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
