Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
