Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. 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. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
