It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people.

With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
