Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
