One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
