Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Shield yourself from the harmful effects of UV radiation with sun-protective attire, a hat, and quality sunglasses. Take note! The UV strength of the Sun elevates when reflected off water and sand.
