Sustaining activity may result in heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
