Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
