When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers.
