Heat index

Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

UV index

Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
