In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. 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. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
