Heat index

May's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in May suggests the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
