Heat index

The heat index in January is computed to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
