Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Always be careful, as unprotected skin and eyes might burn in no time. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
