Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be 28°C (82.4°F). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
