Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
