Heat index

It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
