Heat index

Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
