The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children.
