Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
