Heat index

Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
