Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
