Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air.

Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
