Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
