Heat index

May's average heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
