Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
