Heat index

Throughout May, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
