Heat index

July's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Always take safety measures. The skin and eyes are at risk if left exposed. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
