Heat index

The average heat index in April is computed to be a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
