Confusion in the sun: Immediately or later? if after a while can be dehydration, or even early heat exhaustion/ heat stroke or sun poisoning if associated with rash . On hot days always drink plenty of fluids water /gatorade i.e. fluid with electrolytes so you don't lower your sodium too much which in and of itself can cause confusion. f/u/ w/doc https://www.healthline.com/health/sun-poisoning#types-and-symptoms
