Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Utilize every vital safety procedure. Individuals with light skin may endure burns in less than 5 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Every two hours, apply and reapply an SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially after swimming or engaging in outdoor activities. Heads up! Sand and water reflection magnifies the UV exposure from the Sun.
