The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
