A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.

Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake.
