Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
