Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children.

Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
