Heat index
For most parts of June, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.

Always take precautions; unprotected eyes and skin can be damaged rapidly. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Regularly use sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to shield yourself from sunburn and the adverse effects of the Sun’s rays. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
