Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.

By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
