Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers.
