Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
