Heat index

Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
