Heat index

The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
