The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
