Heat index

The heat index value during September is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
