It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
