In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
