Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
