When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive 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. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
