Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
