Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
