Heat index

Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
