Heat index

When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
