Heat index

In May, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Always take safety measures. The skin and eyes are at risk if left exposed. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. Warning! The reflection of sand and water increases the UV dose.
