Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential.

Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
