Heat index

September's heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
