Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 hold great significance to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
