Heat index

The heat index in June is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: The UV index of 6 during June leads to these advisories:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
