Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
