Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. 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. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Ensure every key safety measure. People with light skin might sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays. Every two hours, apply and reapply an SPF 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen, especially after swimming or engaging in outdoor activities.
