Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during May translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete 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.
