Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
