Heat index

January's average heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed.

Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
