Heat index

Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

Execute all vital precautions. Preventing sun damage is of utmost importance. 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. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Even on a cloudy day, a sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF should be applied generously and frequently reapplied, including after a swim or outdoor exercise. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
