In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
