One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
