Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. 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. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
