Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

The reflection of sand and water significantly increases the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
