Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
