Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
