Heat index

The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
