Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
