Heat index

May's average heat index is appraised at a burning hot 48°C (118.4°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. 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. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
