Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
