Question

Answer 1

"Summers are hot and dry, especially in the Inland Northwest where high temperatures can range from the 90s into the triple digits for several days in a row. Too much heat can be harmful to your health as it taxes the human body beyond its abilities. Doing too much on a hot day, spending too much time in the sun or staying too long in an overheated place can cause heat-related illnesses.....

-Sunburn - Redness and pain. In severe cases swelling of the skin, blisters, fever and headaches.
-Heat Cramps - Painful spasms usually in muscles of legs and abdomen possible. Heavy sweating.
-Heat Exhaustion - Heavy sweating, weakness, skin cold, pale and clammy. Pulse thready. Normal temperature possible. Fainting and vomiting.
-Heat Stroke or Sun Stroke - High body temperature (106 degrees F or higher). Hot dry skin. Rapid and strong pulse.
-Possible unconsciousness. "

Answer 2

I do not think that excess of sun exposure would cause stress, but it does certainly cause fatigue. It causes dehydration, heat exhaustion and can lead to a heat stroke.
Apparently extended exposure to UV rays can also weaken your immune system, so that may have an effect as well on fatigue.

Answer 3

Not stress but definetly fatigue. Also skin cancer, aging spots, wrinkles, etc.
Limit your sun exposure time. But it is good to get at least 15 minutes of full sun exposure daily, haha I wish we got that right now up north.

Answer 4

I live in southern Arizona and can definitely say yes. Look up heat strokes and their effects. A lot of illegals get seriously disoriented and often die in the desert.
Also, when I lived in Kentucky I worked at a heating and air conditioning business. If someones heater broke down and it took 3 days to get to them, they were polite and would ride out the situation. If their a/c's broke down, they were screaming demons that threatened your life if you didn't come out right then. People can seriously blow a fuse in the heat.

Answer 5

Fatigue - definately. Stress? Unlikely. Unless you were already stressed and then it is possible that sunstroke would exacerbate that stress (make it worse).

Here's some info on sunstroke or "hyperthermia" (not HYPOthermia, which is the frostbite one) -
