Heat index

For most parts of June, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary.

A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
