Heat index

During May, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. 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', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
