Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
