sunstruck
Blinded by brightness
Sunstruck describes someone or something affected by intense sun exposure.
A person sunstruck may be dazed, disoriented, or suffering from heatstroke: The sunstruck hikers stumbled back to camp.
The word also carries a more poetic sense of being illuminated or transformed by sunlight: sunstruck fields of wheat.
