Heat index

The heat index value during June is evaluated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are of high significance for 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.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
