The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
