Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
