Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
