Heat index

April's mean heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 48°C (118.4°F). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
