Heat index

Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
