Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and regularly reapply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, even if the day is cloudy. Take warning! Reflective sand and water surfaces intensify the Sun's UV rays.
