Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential.

Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
