Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
