Heat index

The average heat index in May is estimated at a life-threatening hot 58°C (136.4°F). Warning: These weather conditions are evaluated as particularly perilous, heatstroke is at hand.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Without adequate protection, skin and eyes might suffer damage. Ensure precautions are in place. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
