Although the air temperature is 36°C, the RealFeel temperature will soar to 37°C. This is what the heat and humidity will actually feel like on human skin.
Even in the shade, the RealFeel Shade temperature will remain a hot 34°C.
Extreme UV Radiation Warning
The Max UV Index is rated 8.0, which falls into the “Very High” category. Unprotected skin can burn in less than 20 minutes under such intense midday sun.
Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are essential for any brief outdoor exposure.
Light Winds Offer Little Relief
Westerly winds will blow at a gentle 13 km/h, providing minimal cooling effect. These light winds are insufficient to disperse the haze or improve the hazy and hot conditions.
