Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 extremely vital to 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
