Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
