Heat index

The heat index value during May is evaluated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on 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. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
