Heat index

For June, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
