Heat index

Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
