Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
