Heat index

Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
