You are right about the uvb/uva... this would not kill as a poison per-say.

Like a toxic level of uva/uvb. But it does cause a ramp up in heat.

Just like on any day you go out and they say the heat index is high today. You will overheat much quicker on those days due-to the heat intensity factor.

It is not the temperature alone.

A day of 96 degrees with a low heat index you will not overheat anywhere near as fast as a day where it is 96 degrees with a very high heat index.



Heat Index: intensity of ultraviolet light (uva/uvb)
