Heat index

In September, the average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
