Heat index

In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
