When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
