Heat index

Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
