With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children.

Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
