44 died due to heat stroke in Ballia, UP: According to calculations made using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) algorithm to determine heat index based on relative humidity and temperature, the Heat Index (HI), also known as “real feel” temperature, stood at 47 degree C.
When relative humidity, air temperature, and wind speed are added together, HI shows how the temperature feels to a human body. It is frequently employed to determine the likelihood of heat-related diseases including heat exhaustion. Heatstroke is linked to extended exposure to temperatures between 40 and 54 oC on the heat index.
Ballia recorded a maximum temperature of 42.2 degrees Celsius (also five degrees above normal) on June 16 and 42 degrees Celsius on June 15, according to the India Meteorological Department.
