Heat index

The heat index value for May is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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 the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
