Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
