Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
