Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
