It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential.
