Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
