Heat index

For March, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
