Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
