Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
