Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
