When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
