Heat index

From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
