Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
