The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
