Heat index

July's average heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 relevant to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
