In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating 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. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
