Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
