Heat index

Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
