It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
