Heat index

Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
