Humidity January through March and May, with an average relative humidity of 79%, are the most humid months in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it is vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. This effect is individual, with diverse people perceiving weather differently for numerous reasons (pregnancy, wind, clothing), and activity. Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature', 'feels like', 'apparent temperature', or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity. Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heat indexIn March, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 35.9☌ (96.6☏).
