Heat index

Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. 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.

Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays. Even on overcast days, a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of no less than 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after swimming or outdoor activities. Take warning! Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
