Heat index

The average heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If one persists in activity during exposure, it could induce weariness and subsequently, heat cramps.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
