Heat index

The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
