Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. 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. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses.
