Heat index

It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing 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.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
