Heat index

During August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
