Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. 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. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
