These numbers sucks body's energy with its heat index in my province which wasn't a thing ever since
It's really hot now but this time around an unfamiliar word is popping up, "Heat Index" where it feels like hotter for the body than the temperature measured as you can see at the photo above. We are in the hottest months of the year here in my country and it could continue until the month of June I assume until it is not relatively hot like this anymore. Hot months like these usually stops on the supposed onset of the rainy season which from my time as a teenager and before that would start really at around the month of June. That is why the hot and dry season is short-lived weather condition. I am not sure but with these heat indexes where "it feels like 40 plus something" really makes people to stop what they are doing and go rest under a shade or maybe go inside their houses where there is a shade or an air-conditioned room where they could stay, do their "stuff" there and avoid going out to the direct sunlight because the rays of the sun plus the relative humidity will really sap your energy because of the factors of incessant perspiration that your body does to react with this kind of inhospitable weather condition which could lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke that could very well lead to a more serious health "disgracia" like heart attack or stroke of the brain.
Now the government health department is issuing a warning to the public about the heat index which is really making the lives of many people in danger if they continue to remain outdoors and not take precautions like being well-hydrated. Even being inside a typical home with no working cooling appliances like air-conditioners is already punishing people particularly the elderly and young children. The use of electric fan works but it doesn't give you much cooling factor because you will still perspire a lot which is why many people are opting-in for using air-conditioning units and then worry about the electric bills later. Peculiar people like me is benefitting from these hot days because it allows me to be more liberal about my fluid consumption which I want to happen because of my limited capacity to take-in fluids so I have to make a way to get rid of excessive water out from my body and only perspiration is one good way in doing that so that I can continue to consume more fluids without arriving in my dialysis center very waterlogged.
It is normal for most of the people to complain about the heat particularly if you are working regardless of what kind of work or job that you do because naturally you needed at least to be comfortable without your body trying to do an extra work of coping with such punishment. So if that would happen, their productivity suffers for the reason that it is a burdensome condition for our bodies to get struck by the heat of the sun as a given factor with the added burden of trying to beat of what humidity tries to do to you directly. With these two factors going on raging for a few weeks now, we can just hope for rains to shower the land to at least give most of us a break. In my situation, the heat didn't fizzle-out even at dawn which is why I lost some sleep time and I at least recuperated some of it by sleeping late this morning at the time of this writing. So I can expect maybe more brutal heat indexes in the next coming weeks because "This shit had gotten real".
Personally I do not care the "fudge about it" because like as I had stated above, I am pretty much benefitting from it health-wise. I just hope that along comes with perspiring is a way for my body to get rid of some toxins like heavy metals because of my long-failed urinary system. Also, sweat comes out with uric acid and possibly more toxins but in small amounts according to what I lightly researched about sweat "ingredients". With such hot weather happening now, it will really be like taking it in your perspective which is why I am thankful about this "Sauna bath season" as if I am given a natural gift by nature to cleans my body for taking advantage of this rather dangerous heat index and enjoy its somewhat "de-toxifying" effects and truly it is what my body needs so that I can get rid of extra salt from my system and make my blood pressure get more stable although some people are saying that the kind of heat we are experiencing in most places in this country could make your blood pressure and an existing heart condition to get affected negatively. Well for me, getting rid of excessive sodium in my body is what I want to happen because oddly enough it was my dialysis treatment settings which adds extra sodium which I always trying to balance out by getting rid of it by a way of sweating it out if the conditions are "right" for like now with the newer and higher heat index which was not a thing before here in my country.
I am now more worried about the onset of the rainy season which is just a few days on end with occasional rain but in a way that it can give a destruction to the land. So it is different now because I know that with this kind of excessive heat will make the rainy months return with its own destructive force so I hope that as soon as possible I can be able to make myself and me ready by having a better, safe and secured house. I cannot do that now because I am not ready yet for the reason that building a house comes with a great expense for sure particularly now that we are already facing a very hard economic struggles to which it is really unstoppable already and one indicator is how small your country's own currency is losing it purchasing power in just short amount of time and not really recovering. Times are harder, economically, and atmospherically, something got to give and our world si in the process of giving-up, it is all too much.
