Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical 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. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
