It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
