Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Employ every precaution of importance, unprotected skin and eyes could burn within moments. 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. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Regardless of the cloudiness of the day, a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more should be applied and reapplied generously, specifically after swimming or outdoor exercise. Warning! Sand and water reflections boost the intensity of UV exposure.
