Heat index
During April, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F).
Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Employ every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every two hours and right after outdoor activities or a swim. Notice! Sand and water reflections contribute to a stronger UV exposure.
