Heat index

When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
